Google Things to Do in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's ghost tour and Highlands day-trip categories are perfect Things to Do verticals for direct booking optimization.
Why GTTD matters in Edinburgh
Edinburgh attracts roughly 4.7 million visitors a year. A meaningful share of them search Google before booking — and Google's Things to Do panel is now the dominant on-Google channel for tour and activity discovery.
Operators with the Official Site badge appear directly in that panel with a click-through to their own booking page. No 25%+ OTA commission. No competing on price against aggregators. Just direct, full-margin bookings.
